The EFI Toolkit is long since dead, and based on the original EDK (also dead), so we definitely need to get that code out of EDK II projects.

I'd recommend looking at RamDiskDxe under MdeModulePkg as an alternative ...

Thanks ... br

Subject: [edk2] EDK toolkit ramdisk driver

Hi all,

More spring cleaning.

Two separate vendors, with quite different platforms, have submitted ports to OpenPlatformPkg making use of the "ramdisk" driver from https://svn.code.sf.net/p/efi-toolkit/code/trunk/efi-toolkit/protocols/ramdisk/

As part of moving their platforms to edk2-platforms I would just like to revisit that, so that they (on cc) can explain their use-cases and maybe others can chime in on alternative solutions to their problems?

Alternatively, is this something that _should_ be available in edk2?

Regards.

Leif
